Just listened to @thenewsagents.com discussing how horrid it is for a foreign billionaire, Leon musk, to use his vast wealth, influence and power to attempt to influence british elections. Hasn’t Rupert Murdoch been doing that for decades?

Can’t get to the CelticFC AGM today. My question for the board when will you follow good governance and remove Brian Wilson. As a non-executive director he’s meant to challenge the board he’s been there longer than most others so isn’t independent. Get him off the board now.
